v To all whom it may concern: i V I 1 Be it known that. I, ISIDOR Ki'rsEE, a citizen of the United States, residingat Philadelphia, in the countyof l hiladelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in :Printing Telcgraphy, of which the following is a specification. I v i I My invention relates to. an improvement in printing telegraphy. Its object is, totacilitate the'placing of the blanks in the typewriting mechanism."

In most cases, where the printing of telegraphic mes-- sagesis accomplished with the aid of devices, such as typewriters, the blanks are placed in position by manual labor and it is one of the aims of my invention to substitute therefor automatic means.

It is understood that this device has more special reference to those systems of printing telegraphy, whereby through the different grouping 'oi'signals, different elec tro-magnets are actuated, actuating in their turn the, 'typewriting bars. In such system, it is a comparatively easy matter to arrange an additional'grouping, where y an additional or auxiliary electro-magne t is actuated. i 2

Referring now to the drawingfin which similar letters designate similar parts, Figure l is a partially perspective and partially diagrammatic view illustrating: the

' roller of a typewriter, my attachment thereto, and nec-' essary devices in conjunction therewith. Fig. '2 is a plan view of a series of blanks provided with my improvement.

1 is the rollerof the'typewriteror similar machine;

' 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are the means to rotate the shaft.

These means are'hereshown as. the ratchet wheel 2 mounted on the shaft: of theroller, the ratchet 3, the armature 6 held in position by the springs, the electromagnet 5 and the adjustable screw 7. 30 is an electro-m'agnet comprising the two electromagnets 18 and 17, armature 9 and the contacts 10 and 27. The coil of 18 is connected with the wires'19 and 20, which are supposed to form part of a group of conductors adapted to actuate the typewriting mechanism. The coi1-of 1 7 is connected through wires 16 and 31 with the interposition of the battery 15 to contacting means, here shown as the two brushes 14 and 13. .The armature 9 is connected with the interposition of battery 8, through wire.26,' to one terminal of the. coil of electromagnet 5-, and the contact 10 is connected through wire 37 with the adjustable screw 7.

The second terminal of the coil 'of 5 is connected elec trically with the ratchet 3. The adjustable screw 7 normally contacts with the extension-of ratchet 3, as this extension is=drawn thereto by the spring 4. But,

when, through;the cori iicting of the armature 9 with j the contact 10, a circuit is established including the battery 8, then the device 5 will be energized. It will draw the armature 6 and thereby the extension of the with-l0. I

i The blanks adapted to be filled out through thetyperatchet 3 towards its core and away from the adjustable screw'7, thereby breaking the circuit. This breaking will result in the de-magnetizing of 5 and the spring'4 will again draw the extension of 3 awayfrom the core of 5 and in contact with 7.- In reality, this arrange ment is a simple make and break device, whereby the ratchet actuates the wheel 2., Each make and break will move the wheel one tooth, thereby rotatingthe rollerand causing the sheet-11 to move each one predetermined space. Normally, the armature 9 rests.

against the steps 27 and is, therefore, out of contact writing mechanism are here shown as the continuous sheet lland are illustrated as such in Fig. 2, in which 11 designates the roll of paper as an entirety comprising the separate. blanks 25, separated by the perforations 23, each blank being provided with the cut out portion 12.

The operation of device is as follows :-At the be- V ginning, the necessary part" of the first blank of the whole sheet 11 is inserted in the typ'ewriting mechanism and positioned so, that the message can commence at the proper place. When, new, a message is completed, theoperator at the transmitting station transinits a group of signals adapted to operate an electro magnet in amanner, seas to close and electrify the circuit 19' and 20. Through the closing of this circuit, the electro magnet 18 will become operative and will draw the armature 9 towardsto and in contact with the contact 10, closing the circuit including electro-mag-' net 5 with its make and break arrangement. The step by step movement will then be actuated in a manner well understood by persons versed in the art, and thereoy the roller 1 will continuously place successive parts of the blank paper in the required position for printing. During the whole time of the drawing in of the paper, the two brushes13 and 14 are separatedfrom each other and the action of positioning successively,

successive parts of the paper will continue, till the cutout portion 12 is reached. When this portion is at a pie-determined position, the brushes 13 and 14, formerly separated by the paper, will'now come in contact with eachother and will close the circuit comprising 13, 14, 16; 3e, 15 and coil of electro-magnet 17. Through the energizing of this coil, the armature, formerly resting at 10, will move away from-that contact. I

has also to be, noted that electro-magnet 18 is only momentarily energized. Briefly, therefore, it can be stated that no matter at what part of the blank the message will end, through the means adapted to be operated at the sending station, the blank will be carried through the typing mechanism for such a length of time, till the home device will stop the carrying mechanism. b

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent i's:

1. In printing telegraphy, means to carry blanks, adapted to have printed thereon the message, to a predetermined position, said means comprising means adapted to be operated from the sending station to move said blanks, and means adapted to be opcratcd at the receiving station to stop said movement.

2. In combination with a typing mechanism, a continuous sheet of paper divided into a series of blanks, means to move said blanks. independent of the received message, through trnnsmltled impulses, and means to dlscon tin ng. said movement through impulse locally generated.

. closin of a circuit, due to incoming impulses, in combina-- 3. In comliinat ion'wi-th a printing telegraph, means located at the receiving station and adapted to be operated 'in part through transmitted impulses and in part through ed to be operated through incoming impulses'to move said' sheet of paper, independent of the stoppage of the message proper, and stop the moving of the paper, independent of the commencing of a new message.

In combination with a'printing mechanism, a stepbystep mechanism, adapted to be operated through the tion with local means to estop said step-hystep movement from further operation.

In testimony whereof I uflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
